Lambic (malt d'orge et froment) adoucie par ajout de sucre candi. Très sucrée
et un peu acide, ressemble davantage à une limonade qu'à une bière.

The Warrior's Apprentice has been published in 1986 by Lois McMaster Bujold.
Miles Vorkosigan fails his physical entry exam to the Imperial Military
Academy. He then goes to Beta Colony to visit his grandmother, accompanied by
sergeant Bothari and his daughter Elena. Soon after his arrival, he buys
(giving a piece of worthless land on Barrayar as guarantee for later payment) an
obsolete freighter to prevent his pilot, Arde Mayhew, from committing suicide
and destroying part of the spaceport. Soon after, he meets a Barrayaran
deserter, engineer Baz Jezek. Together, they accept a cargo of "agricultural
material" to pay back for the freighter. The cargo is actually weapons for the
Felicians, one side of a civil war on Tau Verde IV, and they are soon stopped by Oseran
Mercenaries who control access to the planet for the Felicians adversairs, the
Pelians. Miles and his party manage to take control of the mercenary ship,
pretending to be part of the Dendarii Mercenaries. The prisoners are soon
turned into the first actual Dendarii Mercenaries, and they deliver together
the cargo. On the space station where they land, they are attacked by Pelians
and Oser's troops, but manage to beat them and hire the whole of them as
Dendarii mercenaries. They then break Oser's trust in their Pelian employer by
hijacking the mercenaries' monthly pay, and finally the whole of Oser's
troops become Dendarii. Miles is then joined by his cousin Ivan, who was under
direct order to find him, but actually unknowingly escaped death by being late
as usual. Back on Barrayar, Miles foils an attempt to break a rift between the
Emperor and Vorkosigan House by being actually present instead of fomenting a
revolution with the help of his private (and illegally owned) army, as the
conspirators claim. Miles gives ownership of his mercenaries to the Emperor,
who gives it to ImpSec. Having proven his value as a tactician and a
commander, Miles is then allowed to join the Academy.

Barrayar has been published in 1991 by Lois McMaster Bujold.
At the emperor's death, Aral Vorkosigan becomes Regent of prince Gregor. But
many would like to take his place by force, or at least replace him with a
more traditionalist head of state. Aral is attacked twice; the second time
Cordelia is a victim as well and the antidote to the combat gas used in the
attack affects he baby she is bearing. He is surgically removed and placed in a
uterine replicator, and follows an experimental treatment to repair the damage
made to his developing bones. Several weeks later, the head of imperial
security arrives to Vorkosigan House with prince Gregor; the imperial
residence has been attacked by Vordarrian's partisans, Gregor's mother Kareen
has been taken hostage. Cordelia, Gregor and a few trusted men flee to the
mountains to hide Gregor. Cordelia then joins her Aral in his headquarter.
When she learns that the laboratory where her baby was treated was attacked
and that the uterine replicator was taken hostage without anyone able to
service it, she decides to lead, against Aral's will, a commando attack to the
imperial residence, using Kareen's former bodyguards knowledge of secret
escape routes. She manages to recover the uterne replicator, killing
Vordarrian (and Kareen) in the process. This leads to the defeat of the
rebellion. Some time later, Miles Vorkosigan is born, with extremely brittle
bones.
